Right, so after Matt and I talked about it a bit on IRC, we actually
don't really care how we do the mappings if we spell them out later to
kexec over proc or somewhere else, as you wanted.

So we can do the VA address space saving scheme first and change it
later, if there are issues. We'll see.

Thanks.
